Chapter 229: Oda family crest, hang out!
"Parasite" is set in another world on Earth. Although it has only won a few awards, the awards are not low, and the audience of anime fans is very wide.
After that, the IP sold quite well. Not only did the animation achieve great results, but the movie box office was also quite good. And 34 years later, a TV series in the form of a sequel was released, and the ratings were not low.
What’s funnier is that in some countries this comic was blacklisted, and the comic book was completely removed from the shelves. This also caused the Dongli edition of the complete works to suddenly triple in price, especially the color edition, which was hard to find.
However, the live-action movie was introduced by different departments, and the box office was not bad, and it became a good talk among comic fans. Once someone talks about it, everyone will laugh happily.
Therefore, Oda Shingo has full confidence in "Parasite".
Although most comic magazines did not announce the news, many stores did not even display promotional prints.
However, when comic fans visit bookstores, they can easily recognize "Parasite" among many comics.
The characters are so obvious!
Among a bunch of fleshy and soft covers, Shinichi Izumi catches the eye with his elongated arms!
Well, he does have eyeballs on his hands!
"Parasite Beast actually released a single book?!"
"Why didn't anyone say anything?"
The manga Gosan Family's silent ban on Oda Shingo has led to many manga fans not knowing that the stand-alone book set is coming.
But through word of mouth and comics fans posting photos on the Internet, more and more book fans are starting to buy.
Soon, Oda Shingo posted a message on YouTube.
[Celebrating the release of the single book "Parasite"! 】
This detonated the market even more!
Comic fans suddenly realized: "Nani? I didn't know!"
More people are flocking to physical bookstores.
Totally sold out!
There are constant phone calls between bookstores.
"Hello? Do you have any goods there? Bring me some!"
"Don't even think about it! My place has been booked a long time ago."
Bookstores everywhere are in panic.
"Stop joking, the first printing of 200,000 sets was prepared and all of a sudden they were gone?"
"They're all sold out! The door is blocked! They're making trouble!"
"Minister, it's not enough, it's not enough at all, it's not enough at all!"
Springfield Bookstore usually only prints 100,000 copies of a single book.
It had long been known that Oda Shingo's works were very popular, and he had already doubled his circulation. Why isn't it enough?
And it didn’t happen within a week, but it was out of stock in less than two days!
The offline sales of the "Parasite Beast" set exceeded 200,000 sets in one and a half days!
In Yahoo’s medieval online auction, the price of the single volume set of "Parasite" is three times the selling price!
"Please give me a set of "Parasite Beast"!"
"Mina-san, does anyone have the single volume set of Oda-sensei's "Parasite"?!"
"I can't buy it! Not to mention the single volume, even the serialized issues of "Jump" are out of stock!"
This "Parasite" comic began to take off in the physical market and on the Internet.
Many big Vs and anchors have noticed.
However, many people understand the rules.
Be silent! Can't say anything! It was so unbearable for them!
However, after all, there are big Vs or anchors who are not in the Yusanjia system.
[Share the single book set of "Parasite Beast"! Get it at triple the price! 】A YouTube master played the video.
As the anchor explained, comic fans became excited.
[Wow! Great print! ]
[Not recycled paper! ]
[The paper weight is amazing! Printing is also good! Definitely worth collecting! ]
Now, not to mention the new "Parasite" products in physical stores, even the second-hand ones from Yahoo! are completely out of stock.
The comic unboxing video has been viewed more than 1 million times!
This video is definitely a hit in Japan’s YouTube physical comics category.
"Are there any Oda Shingo comics left?!"
"I want "One Punch Man" too!" "Comic fans who can't buy "Parasite" usually buy his related works instead!"
"What, it's still turning over?! Do you have money that you don't want to make? If you don't make money, let us make it!"
This is the sentence that the bookstore owner yells most often in the past few days.
Yusanjia's supply points, including Qunyingshe, have been scolded by their store owners.
Since it is a silent ban, the supply chain of Yusanjia has naturally cut off the supply of Oda Shingo's physical books.
Springfield Bookstore and other non-Yusan bookstores are extremely busy.
There are constant operations such as printing, distributing, and notifying arrival of goods, and some shop owners don’t even sleep a wink for a day or two.
This makes people jealous!
This is not the golden age of physical publications in the last century. Many bookstores are barely making a living.
As a result, the bookstore owners under Yusanjia stopped working.
Physical bookstores have had a hard time in the past, but now there is finally a popular product, and you still can’t supply it? !
Although the operation of bookstores is under direct jurisdiction in many places, the consequences of sales performance must be borne by the store owners!
When asked ten times by comic fans, they can still bear it.
When comic fans ask this question a hundred times, they can’t sit still.
When comic fans asked a thousand times, Buddha became popular!
Under Qunyingshe, some non-direct store owners began to sell goods without authorization.
Passed goods are common in China, especially in different sales areas. It is not easy to deal with on the surface, but it is done secretly.
It is relatively rare in Japan, but it is not non-existent.
Especially for books and periodicals, unlike high-end luxury goods or sensitive items such as tobacco, some private stores do not have sufficiently detailed entry and exit records.
"Now is the end of physical publications! Do you know how difficult it is for us? If someone buys a book, we can't help but care about where to buy it?" A shop owner protested to the delivery personnel of Qunying Club without hesitation.
If you block it silently, it won't be easy to quarrel about this matter.
So, I can only pretend I didn’t see it.
"However, the words Oda Shingo are not allowed to appear!" Someone reminded secretly, which contained a warning.
Well, there is no sign of Oda Shingo hanging on the front of the store, and the author’s name is also on the books and periodicals, so it is not easy to advertise from the outside.
Then, let’s hang something that others can understand at a glance! Shopkeepers are not stupid.
It has always been a tradition in Japanese stores to hang up fronts, and a parasitic beast doll was hung up.
Business came in immediately!
But it’s also tragic that the doll was stolen in less than an hour...
"Your sister! She even stole a doll! By the way, it seems to be quite expensive." The shopkeeper was worried.
Hey, Oda Shingo... Let’s hang Oda Nobunaga’s characteristic items! The clever shopkeeper slapped his forehead.
As a result, the guise of the Oda family’s papaya family crest was revealed during the Warring States Period!
The effect is quite good, and comic fans will understand it at a glance!
However, when the bookstore supplier of Yu Sanjia saw the family crest of the Sixth Heavenly Demon King while inspecting the situation, he suddenly breathed blood...
They sprayed old blood, but Oda Shingo was as steady as an old dog, and began to deploy counterattacks step by step.
A two-story studio.
"Todo-kun." Oda Shingo looked at online public opinion and physical store data statistics and made a new action decision.
"Oda-kun, what's wrong?" Todo Koucho now changed his name to him and became the more approachable Oda-kun.
But it’s just between Namikaze Yukuru’s Shingo and Mikami Yuko’s Oda-sensei…
Very tacit understanding, very first come first served feeling.
Only Mrs. Yukino, the way she calls Oda Shingo depends entirely on the situation, or even her mood.
Oda Shingo greeted Todo Koucho: "After this issue is released, I will appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy!"
The Yusan Family headed by Qunying Society dare to silence me?
Ridiculous!
The time is ripe for counterattack!
"Navy Commander? Why?" Todo Xiangcheng repeated the word awkwardly.
Although the Japanese are familiar with the Three Kingdoms, they are not used to the titles.
"Aren't you good with water?"
"Ah?" Toudou Xiangcheng was stunned. He tilted his head and thought for a while. He didn't know where he was thinking. He clicked his tongue at Oda Shingo and said in a low voice: "hentai!"
Looking at Oda Shingo, his eyes were watery.
